What does Chapter 9 say about the importance of getting Sai Baba's permission before leaving Shirdi?

Chapter 9 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra strongly emphasizes the importance of receiving Sai Baba's permission before departing from Shirdi. The text states that leaving without his consent is like inviting obstacles and trouble. It provides examples of devotees who suffered greatly on their journey, with some even being looted by thieves, for not adhering to his orders. Conversely, the chapter also warns that one should not stay even a moment longer once permission to leave has been granted, as doing so also brings trouble. This rule is described as a key characteristic of the Shirdi pilgrimage.
